The Election Commission of India (ECI) has begun its review of poll preparedness in Kerala, focusing on electoral roll status, security planning, and administrative readiness for the upcoming polls.
ECI officials will hold multiple rounds of meetings with state election machinery, district election officers, police officials, and other administrative authorities to discuss voter records currently under adjudication by judicial officers.
The review will also assess overall poll preparedness in the state, including law-and-order arrangements, vulnerability mapping of sensitive areas, preparedness of district administrations, and progress of corrections and updates in the electoral roll.
The visit assumes significance as West Bengal has reported a large number of cases placed under adjudication during the roll revision process.
The ECI's review is part of a broader series of pre-election reviews being undertaken in poll-bound states ahead of the assembly elections scheduled later this year.
